BOKKA VENKATA VITHAL
In the vibrant landscape of Indian modern art, Bokka Venkata Vithal emerged as a talented artist, born in Maharashtra in 1935. He honed his skills as a painter and sculptor at the prestigious Sir J.J. School of Art in Mumbai. Vithal’s compositions, much like his contemporaries, probed the dynamic relationship between human and animal forms. In 1956, he married fellow artist B. Prabha, whose works shared a striking similarity with his own human forms. His artistic repertoire spanned both canvases and sculptures, often incorporating elements from his native Maharashtra. Vithal’s themes were diverse, ranging from humans and animals to local inspirations. He spent his life in Mumbai, leaving behind a legacy that ended in 1992.
